This is the Internet Spine Patients' Information Network! Anything spine related, be it a discussion of new technology, insurance issues, medications... anything relevant to the trials and trevails of spine patients belongs here.

Please see instructions for creating a surgical outcomes entry.

Abstraction: n. The process or result of generalization by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, typically in order to retain only information which is relevant for a particular purpose. See organized Tables of Contents.

NSR = Not Spine Related. Come here to vent, chat, rant, share, and just plain support one another. Discussion about your kids, cats, recipes... feel free to bring it here.

You can also create a thread for you to keep in touch with your friends and family during your surgical ordeal. You can post pictures and keep everyone up to date through your ordeal. This is much easier than communicating with dozens of personal emails.
